Thought
on Maa Indira Devi

Thought
One

I
loved Ma Indira Devi. She left for her Home on New Year's eve
last year. I miss her, and I think of her with great love. I
had been in search of a guru for a long time. I had gone to
Pune one August and was to return back after one day stay.
However Destiny willed it otherwise.

Because
of heavy rains, the trains were cancelled, so I had to return
to the city. I went to visit Ma. On an impulse, I asked her:
"Will you guide me Ma?"

She
Answered: " Yes! We will go hand in hand, like a mother,
daughter, two sisters..."

In
one of her lectures she said: "'...to me a 'guru' does
not represent the 'Maker of the Universe'...for me a guru is a
guide who I trust and who is ahead, in a path that I wish to
tread, he is a friend to who, my heart can easily
say 'yes'.

Ma
was, sorry IS, this to me and more.

If
you want to know more about her, please read the Tribute that
I wrote for her last year, which appeared in the 'Bharatiya
Vidya Bhavan' journal.
